God Bless TEXAS!

Just a quick post to update you all… We've sold our house (MIRACLE!)and WE’VE MOVED! On January 2nd, Doug and I started the new 2009 year headed to San Antonio, Texas! We will be here for one year as we start our Air Force adventure for Doug’s training as a “Combat Systems Officer” (AKA “Navigator”) at Randolph Air Force Base. We have officially found a house that we’re renting and it is awesome! We moved in officially yesterday (Jan. 12th), but our house shipment won’t come till Monday, the 19th… I can’t wait to get everything in order and get settled.

It’s been one long vacation since we left home… eating out is one of our favorite things to do, but we’re glad to finally have normal food (time to get rid of those extra pounds!). We spent two days journeying over to San Antonio and then stayed downtown near the Alamo and walked the Riverwalk. It was great. We had since then stayed at the Air Force Inn on the Randolph Air Force Base. We’re sad we can’t experience the base life, but we’re within 7 miles of the base in a great community and we wouldn’t have gotten a place like this on base!

I’ll be doing more posting as soon as we get internet connection at home and post about the holidays and more pictures of our life here. =) We already love and miss you all!! Keep in touch!

Hey Guys!!! We miss you so much, it seems a little more real now that I can see you really are in Texas! Even though we never lived super close... you seem SUPER far away! I am so happy for you guys... you both look great, and super happy with your new house! WOW! Maybe we should have our reunion there... it just might be big enough! Hmmmm Love you both! (Ellen)

Congratulations on selling your house. What a blessing when everyone is trying to sell!
I hope you like Texas, at least you are already used to the heat. Good luck on settling.

Jacque!!!! I didn't know you had a blog! I just saw your link on Miss Megan Na'ihe's blog. Hooray! My little bro went through Randolph (I'm pretty sure). He's in the A.F., in Maryland right now. He loves it. He really liked Texas. I've never been there, but it sounds awesome...so warm! Holy huge house that you're living in! COol! Love you girl and great to "see" you!
